SECALLOC

The SECALLOC parameter adds support for the FAVER2 transparency. This parameter instructs restore to provide a secondary allocation unit value for sequential datasets being restored from a FAVER VSE export dataset.

STARTNAME is useful if a restore fails. Having corrected the problem, you can add STARTNAME and resume restoring at that point. This parameter eliminates the need to delete, redefine and restore all of the clusters that were restored before the error.

Syntax

This parameter has no operands.

Operands

The SECALLOC parameter is specified with one of the following operands:

UNIT VALUE

This is a numerical value. This value indicates the number of units to be allocated. Where a unit is a CYL or TRK, depending upon which of these the primary was allocated in. If primary was allocated in CYLS then secondary allocation is cyls, if primary was allocated in TRKS then secondary will be trks.

UNITVALUE%

The % sign indicates the amount is a percent of primary allocation.

Default

If SECALLOC is not coded, a default secondary allocation of 25% of primary is used for all FAVER2 sequential datasets. RLSE is also used so any allocated but unused space is released at close time.

Examples

(A) RESTORE SECALLOC=40  CL=NODE1.NODE2.+

(B) RESTORE SECALLOC=25%   CL=NODE1.NODE2.+

EXAMPLE (A)
The SECALLOC=40 allocates a secondary allocation (for FAVER2 sequential datasets) of 40 units of primary allocation. Where a unit is a CYL or TRK depending upon which unit type is used for primary allocation. If primary is allocated in CYLS then secondary is 40 CYLS, if primary is allocated in TRKS then secondary is 40 TRKS.

EXAMPLE (B)
The SECALLOC=25% generates a secondary allocation equal to 25% of primary.
